Links: I do my best to link appropriately. However, if I do link to something, please have the courtesy not to request special wording or other such picky things unless I just plain have something wrong. A link is a courtesy and to receive it as such will show equal graciousness on the part of the recipients. Thank you!

Review Books: Often I am provided with a complimentary copy of a book. I try to remember to mention it every time, but sometimes fail to do so. Believe me, as several authors and publishers have had cause to know, the free nature of these books never moves me to write anything other than what I would write if I plunked down the full purchase price (plus sales tax!) at a bookstore near me.
